Consider the following statements about the Jaziya tax in the Mughal period :

(i) Akbar abolished the Jaziya in 1564.
(ii) Akbar re-imposed the Jaziya in 1575.
(iii) Akbar abolished the Jaziya again in 1579-80.
(iv) Aurangzeb re-imposed the Jaziya in 1679. Which are the correct statement from the above.

  • A.(i), (ii)
  • B.(i), (ii), (iii)
  • C.(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
  • D.(i), (iv)

Answer: C

All four statements are correct, option C according to the key. Akbar abolished the jaziya in 1564, it is described as being re-imposed in 1575 and again abolished in 1579-80, and Aurangzeb re-imposed the tax in 1679, the best known of these steps.

Options A, B and D leave out one or more of the statements and so are incomplete.
